O MARY, QUEEN OF MERCY.

There lived knight, long years ago.
Proud, carnal, vain, devOtionless;
or God above. or hell below, :,
He toek no thought, but undismay'd'
Pursued his course OF wickedness.
His heart was rock; he never pray'd
10 be forgiven Tor ali his Ieasons;
He only said, at certain seasons:
20 Mary, Queen of hercyP
Years roll'd, and found him still the same,
Still draining pieasut e's poison bowl;
Yet felt he nov and then some shame;
The torhent Of the Undying Worm
At wbiles woke in his trembling soul;
And then, though pow riess TO reform,
Would he, in hope TO appsase that sternest
Avenger, cry, snd more in earnest,
20 Mary, Queen OF Mercy!"
At last Youths rictous time was gone.
And Loathing now came AFTER Sin,
With locks yet own ne felt as one
Grown gray at heart, and oft, with tears,
Ho tried. but all IN vain, 20 win
from the dark desert OF his years
Ono flower OF hope: yet, MORN and evening,
lie still cried, but with deeper meaning,
20 Mary, Queen OF Mercy!
A happier mind, holier mood,
A purer spirit rules him nOw,;.
No more in thrall to flesh and blood,
lie took a pilgrim staff in hand,
And. under zig Gus vow,
TrAvail'd his Way TO POmmerland;
There entered he an humble cloisier,
Exclaiming, while his eyes grew m0isier,
40 Mary, Queen of Mercy!"
Here, shorn and cowl'd, he laid his cares
Aside, aud wrought for God alone.
Albeit he sang no choral prayers,
Nor mattn hym nor laud could learn,
He mortified his flesh 10 stone;
For him nc penAnce was too stern:
And often prayed he o his nelly
Cell-eOueh ut nisht, but still said only,
90 Mary, Queen OF Mercy"
They buried him with mass and song
.Aneath little knoll so green;
But 10 a v ondersiRhtl-S long
Rose blooming, from that verdant mound
The tairest lily ever seon;
And on its petals badges round,
Relieving theic translucent Wilderness
Did shine these words with gold hued bright
ness
30 Mary. Queen of Mercy"
And, would Gods angels give the power,
Thou, dearest re ader, mightst behold
The fbers Of this holy flower
Upspringing from the dead mans heart
In tremulOus threads Of light and gold;
Then wouldst thou choose the better part
And thenceforth fee Sins foul suggestions
Toy soul response to hooking questions,
90 Mary, Queen of Mercy!"

MIs SECOND WIFE.

In silence she raises
Her low dropping head
To list while he praises
The wife who IL dead;
And ever he echoes the old refrain,
"0h, that was life
With such wife,
Poor Susan Amanda Matilda janet"
She neyor was idle,
She never would tire;
Her tem per could bride,
Her servants inspire.
And ever her virtues he sang again;
''No one o uld be
Like he' TO me-
Poor Susan Amanda Matilda Jane "
She novor spent money,
Was ever content;
To have new bonnet
Would never consent;
Yet summer or winter, OF shine or rain,
Would never stay
From church away,
His Susan Amanda Matilda janet
Wa neVor too carly,
Wa never too late;
Her dinner was ready,
Or ready to wait.
But ali he never should soc again
With Mortal eyes
Such peerless pies
Poor Susan Amanda Matilda JAnet
Gould sew on his buttons,
Darn, back-stit, h and hem,
Kaoh button q picture,
kaok darn was q gem.
A vision Of beauty, q pearl without stain
When she was there .
His oes to share,
Poor Susan Amanda Matilda janet
In silence she listens,
Till sudden there lies
An ember that glistens
Deep down In her eyes,
"TO prai,o her yet farther 10 ne 10 vain
No ono" quo h che,
Regrets like a.,
Poor Susan Amanda Matilda janet"

WORDS OF MUSIC.

Only the highest musical intelli-
gence, only the unsteady magma
tive hearer comprehends, and more,
feels that the sound is not alone tie
frame but the picture, that it is the
text of the book, the tragedy itself
in the very essence. To the best Of
the world the words are some
thing" Possessed with the idea
that there must be a meaning some
where, alike unable to receive the
musical idea and to comprehend that
it can be expressed in no other way
than by these very sounds OF which
they seek translation in tongue
they may comprehend, most hearers
welcome anything which will serve
to dispel the unpleasant sensation OF
confronting an enigma. Painters
meet the same difficulty by making a
picture tell story, or by labelling it
with an attractive title. The genu-
inc connoiseur of painting ignores
these unworthy devices; the far rarer
connoisseur Of music ignores the
words which are added to the art he
loves as a sop to the Cerberus Of
musical insensibility. In ordinary
song singing this use of the words is
we'll enough recognized. Who knows
or cares what the words Of most
songs are, beyond getting a phrase
here and there to serve as a clew to
the sentiment of the singer. The vo-
calist might as well-and in common
practice not inirequently does-sing
a gibberish of vocal sounds with nc
resemblance to language except in
the catch words which make the
song in reality an example Of genuine
programme music. If one wishes to
admire the poem, he takes it apart
from the music, reads it, and judges
it by itself. The fast is, that words
have no legitimate function in con
nection with music at all, save in
this programme service, a use more
or less exalted as one chooses to re
gard it.-Scribner' Mdg1zine.

mean greater accommodation and
comfort and less racing of the ma

would mean greater safety. Under
present circumstances complete
break down of the machinery Of these
great ships is a disaster which may
entail delay as the least of the diff
culties. No sail power can be given
them which would serve to carry
them into port; they must lie help
less logs in the water until fortunate

or have them render verdict.
Mr.. Sisk says that Joe Counts, well
known TO great many old Texans, was

in four cases and found guilty in eacn
case, and his punishment Was as essed al
ten years in the penitentiary in each case
which made forty years, and nc was Oh

it Is very probable he has been convicted
